Macy’s is doing their part to help the environment by holding a special savings event that will benefit both local organizations as well at the National Park Foundation. Tomorrow, April 25th, you can save 20% on store purchases or 10% on online purchases.

Here are few ways that Macy’s is working toward becoming a greener company:

*They’ve changed to a packing material that is 100% biodegradable. It’s made of corn and potato  starch and it dissolves in water. Or you can add it to compost. You can even throw it away, because no matter where you put it, this stuff is going to dissolve.

*Macy’s is changing to a shopping bag that is made of 30% recycled materials. You can reuse the bag, so it’s 100% recyclable.

*Macy’s is looking to reduce their total energy use by 10-15% by 2010. In the past 5 years, they have already reduced by 9%.

*They are reducing paper consumption by 20% and are increasing the percentage of recycled paper they use. For more information, you can check the Macy’s website.
